HERE AND
THERE
WITH ARLEE

Holidays are over and if I
were back in Chicago I'd see the
store wv ‘ows changed from the
wonderful fairy lands they use
for Christmas to “Spring Styles”
of all things! Don’t know
why or even if they still do, but
Easter used to follow Christmas
awfully close to my way of think-
ing.

Did anyone ask for snow for
Christmas? Don’t misunder-
stand me, I like it — it’s just
that some people I know don’t
like “quantity” and I’m just
thinking of them.

Cooked our turkey for New
ear’s Day this year — mmmm.

Castle Theatre

“Turkey Pickin’”.lasted for three
days and we are still eating tur-
key soup — “quantity” again
but still mmmm.

The highlight of last week —
in fact you might say of many
weeks — was starting as “News
Reporter” at the CASTLE "NEWS.
Talk about fun! I get a chance
to phone all my friends (we've
been waiting for a telephone for
more than two years) say hello

and how are you and what’s.new, .

ete, all in the line of duty —
you might say. I get a chance
to meet a lot of folks and a
chance to make new friends. And
on top of all that get paid for
it. Don’t anybody wake me up,
please.

Why do people put cross bars
on toboggans? There must be a
better way to hold them together
— or better still let the silly
things fall apart. All the others
in my family, even two year old
Heather, think there’s nothing
ag thrilling as salearing’ down that

hill 100 m.p.h. — le gasping at
the bottom long enough for your
breath and heart to catch up
with you, wipe the snow off your
face and out of your neck and
cuffs — then rush back -up there
laughing like fiends to do it
again. Ah me! I seem to re-
member going tobogganing in
Minneapolis when I. was a kid
and bringing the whole gang back
to the house for cocoa and get-
ting “Mom” out_of bed to come
play the piano so we could sing,
but I DON’T remember those
eross bars.. Well, anyway you
won't catch me “sitting” around
much for_a while yet.

Went to the Bridge Committee ©
meeting last Friday You just
keep watching for more about
that and do get behind- these
men who are putting so much
time and energy into getting us
a bridge. They'll need all our
support. We ‘can do it too —
from the sounds of that meeting,
the “Powers that Be” will again
know there is a place called
Castlegar. They found out about
it when the Airport Committee
got busy — you can see that
got results so here we go again!

Went “Back on the Farm”
with Ma and Pa Kettle the other
night and I’m still laughing. Sat
next to my good friend Mr. Toz-
er. He told me he couldn’t laugh
because his ribs were taped up.
Now taped ribs are no laughing
matter but “ma and pa” are so
you -won’t) have» any trouble
guessing which won out. The
only trouble now is we saw the\
trailer of “King Solomon’s Min-
es” and now we just HAVE to
see that. You'll be there too

on’t you?

SPORT TRAILS.

(By Len Walker)

As there has been no sport
here in Castlegar in the past
two weeks I would like this week
to cover the 12 top performers
for 1951 as picked by the read-
ers and fans of Sport Magazine.
First of all in boxing Sugar
Ray Robinson was chosen, also
he was chosen the sportsman of
the year. Sugar Ray is a great
fighter and to this day he can
throw more punches in less time
than any other boxer. His re-
turn fight and: knockout of
Rondy. Turping before fans
was a big’ sports item for 1951.

In baseball. the fans picked
the old reliable Stan Musial of
the St. Louis Cardinals as top
man. He was a tower of strength
for the Cards batting at a .355
clip.

In college basketball it was Bill
Mikvy (you pronounce it,

can’t) even with all the scandals
in basketball the past year, this
youngster stood out when he set
a new collegiate record for scor-
ing, with a 29.2 points average

+ per game.

In pro basketball it was Gearge
Mikan. He drew the most votes
of anybody and he well deserves
them. He wears glasses and
plays for the Minneapolis Lak-

ers,

The 172 pound Dick Kazmair
won the college football position
with his running, passing and
kicking. In the big game with
Cornell he completed 15 out of
17 passes and 3 of them went for
touchdowns,

In pro ball Otto Graham, the
old money player was chosen.
He is a great ball thrower and
a masterful play caller. He also
was chosen in 1949.

In golf it was Ben Hogan the
man who it was said would never
play again after he was in a
car accident. Last year he was
in six tournaments and he won
three — the Open, the Masters
and the World Championship.
He was chosen twice before in
this poll.

‘Another ‘three timé winner is
Rocket Richard for hockey and

there is| no doubt in anyone’s

mind that the Rocket is not the
greatest player today.

For the first time in five
years a woman was chosen for
top performer ‘when Florence
Chadwick was chosen as tops in
swimming. She is the first wom-
an to swim the channel the hard
way from England to France.

In tennis it was Dick Savitt
winner of both the Australian
and Wimbledon singles champion-
ships. ©

In track it was Bob Richards,
the minister of the Gospel. He
pole voulted: 15 feet or better
ten times during the year.

Last but not least was horse
racing, Citation was picked. Cita-
tion was beaten only once, as a
two year old and won 19 out
of 20 starts as a three year old.
His winnings reached the one mil-
lion dollar mark last year and is
now retired.

' How would you like to retire
with a million dollars at 3 years
old.

I guess I'll just retire for this
week. .
